It is now faint, but definitely something I notice. I feel comfortable enough with my writing and speaking English not to feel self-conscious anymore, mainly because our diversity brings something to the firm many English natives do not have: another language! That said, I also know from witnessing it that the thicker the accent, the harder it is to blend in with a team of English natives, and "make an impression". If you think your accent is strong enough that people often have to ask you to repeat, or that you struggle to express yourself concisely and quickly, you would probably gain in improving your English. If not, then I think you should embrace your accent as it is reminiscent of your culture and background!</blockquote>
